God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil

Song Shu returned to the delivery room, where everyone was waiting outside.

At dusk, the sound of a baby crying was finally heard.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a little prince." The midwife came out holding the child to announce the good news. After showing it to the emperor, she took the child back.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the birth of your baby boy." The concubines from all the palaces congratulated him one after another and then went back to their homes.

Dongfang Yu was overjoyed and promoted Zining to the rank of Rou Guipin. He also rewarded the palace ladies in Shuihua Palace with half-yearly allowances and was filled with joy.

After Zining gave birth, she fell asleep after seeing the baby.

I didn't wake up until the next day.

Later, Song Shu came to her and told her that Dongfang Yu promoted her to noble concubine, a promotion of two levels.

"This old emperor is really good to you." Song Shu had to admit.

"Oh, how can it be bad if I give birth to a child for him?"

"Come to think of it, it was really thrilling when you gave birth. Two groups of people wanted to take advantage of the situation. Fortunately, I was smart." Song Shu felt a little scared when he thought about what happened at that time. It was too thrilling. But when he thought about the fact that he had discovered the clue, he felt a little proud for a moment.

"Who is it? There is still no result? Why is the emperor so inefficient?" Zi Ning said dissatisfiedly.

She originally thought that giving birth wouldn't be too difficult after the death of Xu Yinying, the poisonous snake in the harem, but she didn't expect that she was not the only poisonous snake.

There are also people hiding in the dark and spitting out snake tongues.

"It was Xu Yinying who instigated Gancao when she was alive. Even after her death, we can't rest in peace. She is really awesome. The queen of palace fighting." Song Shu gave Xu Yinying a thumbs up.

"I don't know if Zhu Yuling was involved." Gan Cao had been beaten to death with a stick, and Zhu Yuling didn't react at all. Maybe she didn't know about it.

"None of this is important. Do you know who that midwife was yesterday?" Song Shu began to keep the suspense.

"Who is it? Tell me quickly."

"Hu Xirou, Hu Zhaoyi! You never expected that."

"Oh my God, I'm shocked. Does she have such means?" Zining felt that Hu Xirou was unreasonable and domineering, and did not seem like someone who could do such a thing.

"She wasn't pretending before to confuse people. The system told me that the emperor secretly went to see her yesterday. I don't know what he said, but she was not punished. This is too much." Song Shu was also dissatisfied with Dongfang Yu.

"Dongfang Yu knows that it was Hu Xirou who harmed me, but he doesn't help me vent my anger. What's the meaning of that? I almost lost two lives." Zi Ning felt unhappy just thinking about it. Even if the Hu family is in power again, they can't let her do whatever she wants.

"That's right, I don't understand what he means. Did he really spare her for the sake of Empress Yuan? What will he tell you then? He won't lie to you and say that the murderer has not been found." Song Shu thought about it and felt that this was indeed a possibility.

"Oh, I don't know. This is too difficult. I am a palace maid, and there is no one in the previous dynasty. If the emperor doesn't help me, I can only accept it."

Zi Ning could only pretend that she knew nothing. Since Dongfang Yu didn't say anything, she didn't ask.

Hu Xirou was only confined to the house without any punishment. How could Zining tolerate this?

If Your Majesty does not help me vent my anger, I will have to do it myself.

Someone has handed me a knife to kill me, so am I not allowed to fight back?

Dongfang Yu named the third prince Jin.

Dongfang Jin’s third-day bath was celebrated with great fanfare, and concubines from all the palaces came to share in the joy.

Although it was already September, the weather was still quite hot, and Zining was in great pain during her confinement.

I finally made it through a month and after the confinement period, I was tormented by Dongfang Yu several times at night.

Dongfang Yu was as crazy as a hungry wolf, and Zining was the fat meat that had been raised for a long time, making people salivate.

At this point, Zining's mission has been completed. But she is worried about Song Shu, so she plans to stay and help Song Shu complete the mission.

However, Song Shu’s mission is really difficult and there is no solution so far. He can only take it step by step. Maybe things will turn around.

After the slapping incident with Concubine Hu, Zi Ning felt that his position was still too low. There were so many people above him putting pressure on him. Even with the emperor's favor, he did not have full confidence.

She still felt that she should focus on her career and improve her position. However, she could not reveal her ambitions to Dongfang Yu, and her image could not be ruined.

Zi Ning went to find Concubine Jing to find out what had happened to Queen Yuan.

However, there was no useful information from Concubine Jing. She just said that she injured her body during childbirth and passed away within a few years.

The Hu family was afraid that there would be no one in the harem to persuade them, and they were also worried that no one would take care of the eldest princess, so they sent their youngest daughter into the palace.

Zi Ning made some inquiries but didn't find any new information, so he decided to ask the system.

Zi Ning returned to Shuihua Palace and sent someone to invite Shen Shu over.

"Tell me when your father disappeared?"

"Your Majesty, I remember it was four years ago when the Queen passed away. I heard the bell that day and thought that only the Queen had passed away, but I didn't expect that my father would never come back." Shen Shu recalled, his eyes slightly red and he sniffed lightly.

"The information I found out is that the Empress and Concubine Jing were pregnant at the same time. The Empress wanted to give birth before Concubine Jing, so she asked your father to prepare a drug to induce labor. However, she gave birth to a daughter, while Concubine Jing gave birth to a son. She must have been very upset, and because the labor was induced, her body was damaged, so she relied on drugs to hang on to her life. The Hu family did not want to lose the protection of the Empress, so they asked your father to procure a drug to extend the Empress' life. Later, when the Empress passed away, the Hu family felt it was shameful and was afraid that your father would say something wrong, so they killed him."

After giving birth, Hu Xihui could not bear the double blow of physical and psychological suffering. She struggled hard to give birth to a daughter, but Concubine Jing was lucky enough to give birth to the eldest prince. She could not get what she wanted, and could not die. What a miserable person.

Don’t force what is not destined to happen.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me where my father's body is..." Shen Shu was shaking with anger, but he controlled his emotions.

"I don't know about this. Perhaps only the Hu family knows."

You can check the rest yourself, and look forward to the young man’s performance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling me the truth. If you have any instructions from now on, I will do whatever it takes, even if it means I will die." Shen Shu made a solemn vow.

"Remember what you said today." Zi Ning was very satisfied.

After Shen Shu left, Zi Ning thought of a problem, so he summoned the system again.

"You're so smart. What did Hu Xirou say that made the emperor not punish her?"

"She confessed madly, saying that she had liked brother-in-law since she was a child, but because of her sister, she could only like him secretly...blah blah blah. The emperor might think it was jealousy between girls, mainly because she liked me. I was the one who harmed you, and he pitied Hu Xirou because she was young, so he spared her."

"Oh my god, she is really amazing. She knows a man's mind perfectly. I don't think she likes the emperor. She should like her sister the most."

Zi Ning almost died of laughter. Is Dongfang Yu so easy to deceive? He would believe such a thing.

But when I think about it this way, Hu Xirou is probably not a simple character.

Do you think Hu Xirou is a good palace fighter?
